Batch of well-known brand of frozen peas sold across much of Spain to be recalled

Spain has issued a new health alert specifically aimed at people with gluten intolerance or problems resulting from gluten intake. The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan) has become aware and informed consumers of an alert notification from the health authorities in the Community of Madrid due to the presence of undeclared wheat kernels in packs of 550g superfine peas of the popular Findus brand.

According to Aesan, as a precautionary measure, people sensitive to gluten who may have the product at home are advised to refrain from consuming it. However, the organisation stressed that batch of the product, which is to be withdrawn from shop shelves, does not pose "any risk to the rest of the population".
